I am here for Friends

About Me

I play drums for this parade of douchebags:
IfIHadAHiFi: Success! Success! Success!

We have a new album coming out! Aren't you excited?
I've recently decided to indulge the half-baked idea that i'm some sort of writer as well. At the moment, i'm a regular music reviewer for Vital Source , a contributor to the snarkiest music blog Karl Marx never thought of, superstarcastic.com ("snarkiest blog Marx never thought of?" The hell does that even mean? Some writer), and a freelance contributor to the Milwaukee version of The Onion AV Club . I guess it pays to diversify? Sure, let's go with that.
If you want to hold long, way-too-in-depth conversations about what Battlestar Galactica has to say about politics, religion, terrorism, and the nature of humanity, or if you want to rant and rave about how undoing Spider-Man's marriage was a tremendous mistake, i'm your man. I mean, i can talk about boring shit like music, too, but i'd rather discuss very specific nerd shit. Let's hook it up.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Someone out there has to have Zooey Deschanel's contact information, right? For the love of GOD, hook a brother up. I don't even care that she thinks she's an indie rocker now; i'll sing "Plumb Line" by Archers of Loaf to her and she will melt. PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH THIS WOMAN. Why would you hold out on me? It's selfish. It's just selfish.

Britain's Got Talent, But Will You Care Tomorrow?
